Higman Park

Too many suspensions for very small children. The children are being kicked out for 5 days or 10 days at a time for things that can be redirected. No other intervention but suspension. Poor school leadership

Best of the three area elementary schools.

Lake Michigan Catholic MEAPS (Michigan Educational Assessment Program) tend to be the highest in the entire county in almost every grade from elementary to high school, and nearly every subject (including comparisons to public schools).The class of 2016 has an average ACT score of 25.5. More importantly, LMC delivers mature young adults that are well equipped to take the next steps in their lives and in society.

My daughter has been here for two years. She is now 4 and just graduated preschool! I originally had her in Tri County and it was horrible. Sure, it was free but she didn't learn anything and they refused to teach her anything new because she was 3 and was "too far ahead of the 4 year olds." She was also cursing and fighting which were things she never did before she went there. Never had this issue with St. Matthew's. Yes, we had to pay and provide our own food but it was worth it! She can write her full name (and names of her classmates), all the letters of the alphabet, she knows her numbers and even some math and sight words! Her vocabulary has increased as well. She is doing the 1st grade workbooks from the stores now because the Kindergarten ones are too easy. They also learn about God and about being a good person. She has become so concerned about being a good person and treating people well that it amazes me. She loves going to school every day, and comes home and goes straight to sleep! She gets plenty of exercise and she is always engaged. I kind of wish they did nap time, but she makes it through the whole day without one. Also, they clean every day. She hardly ever catches a cold. Every evening when I pick her up I can smell the bleach and see them cleaning toys, tables, and dishes.
